isn't she lovely...

i was patiently waiting to block before i finished, but after reading shobhana's comment about seaming, i whipped mine up last night... and here are the results!

aah, my finished carla...

and sally, thank you so much for pointing out that the sleeve embroidery technique is the same as on excite! here's my finished sleeve, after weeks of being confused and somewhat annoyed that i couldn't figure the damn thing out.

yay! so excited i'm finished... i can't wait to rock this at my knitting circle! :-D
